[ Micro residences for the elderly ] Medolla (MO), 2012 Designers: Mauro Frate, Ludovico Sternini, Simone Visentin, Matteo Pollani Client: Rock No War association In progress
This project has been proposed for the reconstruction of new buildings for a health and social services for the elderly with varying degrees of autonomy. The earthquake that struck the central area of the Pianura Padana in May 2012 has made it uninhabitable existing structures in the area. The new architecture has the purpose of responding to various requests such as the cost, short lead times and safety of the structure in the case of events similar to those which have already occurred. These conditions coincide with some of the concepts of sustainability, such as the prefabrication. The proposed solution is a building that will be built in different urban contexts through with small variations of the design floor plan and elevation. In the program of municipal administrations are nine buildings to achieve.
[ Sustainable day care centre for the elderly ] Mirandola (MO), 2012 Designers: Mauro Frate, Ludovico Sternini, Simone Visentin, Matteo Pollani Client: ASP Municipalities Modenesi, North Area A reflection on the nature and form of the spaces of care is needed today, and the introduction of devices that allow the sick or elderly to move from their point of view must be considered a way to cure the person and mitigate the social hardship. The project explores the architecture of the welfare system that passes through the relationship between architectural design and the concepts of sustainability. The architectural solution think of buildings characterized by variable configurations, in time and space while the relationship with nature is expressed through the main source of energy (the sun), which becomes a form factor to model and design the building.
[ Redevelopment of the nurser y school “Girotondo� ] Design competition | Winning project Terni, 2012 Designers: Mauro Frate, Ludovico Sternini, Simone Visentin, Matteo Pollani
The theme of the competition was created by the need for adaptive urban transformation of many Italian schools. The paradigm of adaptability is related to the concept of sustainability. The principles of adaptation are the flexibility and reversibility. The project follows a list of programs to achieve the existing building as an opportunity for reinvention of the relationship between areas essentially already determined. The basic attitude that inspired design strategies is to exploit even the smallest of opportunities to increase the energy performance of the building and to raise the level of comfort offered to small users in each environment.
[ NRS_45 ] Design competition | Winning project Consultation for design a single-family ecological homes located in the Italian landscape Rome, 2011 Designers: Mauro Frate, Ludovico Sternini, Simone Visentin, Filippo Bergianti, Matteo Pollani Promoting board: Ministry of the environment, Association Mecenate 90 The tangible consequences of climate change have produced an alteration in the perception of progress and the future that the man had for a long time. The design opportunity leads us to explore to what extent the paradigm of sustainability impacts the design of urban and territorial structures, assuming the conversion of an area of the Veneto plain. The guiding concept, as opposed to old trends of the city, is to “network� all inputs are expressed in the area and wants to generate the least amount of output.
[ Sustainable Shock - Venice City Vision ] Design competition | Mentioned project Venice, 2011 Designers: Mauro Frate, Ludovico Sternini, Simone Visentin, Filippo Bergianti, Matteo Pollani, Giorgio DonĂ
The project takes as inputs a view of the lagoon through its analysis, and discussed the consequences caused by climate change. The first show the trend of the Venetian area to become an arm of the sea caused by several factors including the increasing depth of the seabed, the increased erosion of salt marshes and maintenance of major waterways. The second include scenarios of sea level rise, along with other climate change will cause inconvenience to all coastal areas including the Venice area. Through these reflections is to adopt a firm position on the changes necessary to adapt the city to the present and next future.
[ Sustainable Shock - Thesis ] Venice, 2011 Designers: Matteo Pollani, Giorgio Donà Teachers: Benno Albrecht, Mauro Frate, Giovanna Mar, Luigi Schibuola The thesis develops the hypothesis of a planning for the Venetian Lagoon, believing that an organization unit can rebalance the natural values and functional reorganization of the “city of the lagoon”. The project on a large scale work on the opportunities provided by a Mega Event, regarded as a shock. The scope of research projects in a scenario in 2100 where important climate change affect the environment and the city and therefore it considers essential to manage a series of interventions that can meet the needs of environmental protection and urban development with the consequent recovery of Mega event’s legacy. The Venetian Lagoon is an environment heavily anthropomorphised and sustainable development is made possible A full presentation is available in this link. http://issuu.com/sustainability_in_architecture/docs
